craesreads's review against another edition
4.5
Jennifer Hartmann did such a fantastic job writing this book. There was such sensitive subject matter throughout this book &yet she still has you falling in love with the story. She did a great job portraying PTSD &life after traumatic events.
Dean Asher is 🥹🥰. He’s just the perfect person to be in that position with. He only got better &better as the book progressed.
The narration was alright. I didn’t really enjoy the voices to start but I eventually got use to them. The male voice was trying too hard to keep his voice as deep as possible which made it almost hard to understand.
There was not one second of this story that lagged or made me want to rush through it. I totally get the hype of this one &definitely recommend but check trigger warnings prior!

It was so we'll written and the story was so we'll thought and executed.
I felt every emotions the characters went through
Dean is perfect for Cora and is the best male protagonist ever.
Love the dual POV
